Chakras

What are chakras? In Sanskrit, the word “chakra” means “disk” or “wheel” and refers to the energy centers in your body. These wheels or disks of spinning energy each correspond to certain nerve bundles and major organs. To function at their best, your chakras need to stay open, or balanced. If they get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra. There are seven main chakras that run along your spine. They start at the root, or base, of your spine and extend to the crown of your head. Each chakra has its area of resonance within the body, a color spectrum, and a sound vibration that brings it into resonance:  When we are exposed to the crystalline healing sounds they bring the energy centers of the body back into balance in a multidimensional manner, helping us to restore health and balance holistically.
